Geschlechterdefinitionen und Geschlechtergrenzen in der Antike

by Elke Hartmann, Udo (Ed) Hartmann, Katrin (Ed) Pietzner

What did being male or female mean in the ancient world? What were the norms and behavioral patterns connected with it? Under which circumstances were boundaries of gender being crossed? These questions define the range of essays collected in this volume, which all deal with analyzing the various definitions of masculinity and femininity encountered in the classical ancient cultures. German text, some contributions in English.
